Out of memory while reading Exif data from JPEG file

See original GitHub issue

While trying to read exif data from the attached image we got an “out of memory” exception. Looks like the image is somehow corrupted but maybe the exception thrown can be prevented as it tears down the our whole application. Please take a look. Thanks in advance!

Sorry for taking too long. My initial fix works reliably only for the first image.

The problem with the second one is different, here the TIFF contains bad offsets, but I have a fix for this issue soon as well.

The fix I made for the first image works for this one as well. I just need to clean the code and create a test case before committing.
